scuM...Five Games Left
GrtArtiste <nineorbs@yahoo.com>: Oct 18 10:36AM -0400
After the events of yesterday, the next 4 games for scuM are probable
wins...assuming JH can keep them motivated. There's not enough coming
from Minn-Rutgers-IU-PSU to give them a real challenge. So to really
salvage their season, scuM needs to defeat tOSU in AA. Of course, I hope
the Buckeyes win but I'm enough of a realist to know that won't always
happen. tOSU looks a little better every week...but will it be enough?
A loss to scuM will always hurt, but it'll hurt a little less for me if
it happens in AA. I just hope it's a good game. We gave up the last of
our scuM season tickets a few years ago so that's over and done with,
and a good thing too. We had a good run starting in 1979 and a lot of
memories, good and bad.
Go Bucks!!!!

The sudden reversal of fortune - the trip from the pit of resignation to the heights of disbelieving joy. The sucker punch of W.T.F. as we're busy gathering things to go, school fight song dying on our lips as the scoreboard reveals the truth of what just happened. The drive home surrounded by fellow fans all honking and smiles and waves. The drive home in silence and misery. Tickets will be framed and the air sweeter - or just a bit more bitter as the sun refuses to rise. There were a thousand glasses shattered by anger in bars around the country and a thousand rounds bought for the bar in pure elation.
In years to come, this game will be a shared thread we speak of with great reverence regardless of which end of the ending we experienced. It will soon have a nickname - a simple term like The Play or Hail Flutie or Kick Six - a name which instantly evokes a reaction among the soon to be millions who will claim to Have Been There. It will go down in lore of Michigan angst with The Timeout and Michigan Men everywhere will soon wear it as a badge of suffering honor.
And in distant years, a certain gray-haired lawyer or accountant or senior engineer will pull a picture off the wall of his den of his younger geeky glasses wearing self - with hands on head and open mouth of shock - the one shown in every single post game highlight- and sit down with his grandsons and tell the tale again of this game and the wheel spins again.

> Did anyone watch?
The first Democrat presidential "debate" made several things jarringly clear:
* There is no need for any further Democrat "debates". Hillary is the clear winner or, as one pundit put it, "She is queen of a box of rocks". The Democrat National Committee, MSNBC, CNN and the other left wing groups can move straight to Hillary's coronation ceremony.
* The four other sad sack contenders, including 74 year-old socialist Bernie Sanders, don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning and they know it. Lincoln Chafee looks like Grandpa Munster, Martin O'Malley was half asleep and poor Jim Webb just stumbled, mumbled and looked lost. They were there for appearance sake only and have been given clear instructions by the DNC not to attack Hillary. Their real motivation is a potential pay off from the Clintons when they announce they are dropping out of the race.
* The questions were the usual softball fluff you would expect from the pro-Hillary left leaners at CNN. The moderator, Andersen Cooper, is a Hillary supporter and contributed money to her campaign.
* For example, as Secretary of State, Hillary shares the blame for the complete failure of Obama's disastrous foreign policy. Yet there were no questions about ISIS' growing terrorist threat, the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan, Russia's invasion of the Ukraine, Russia's bombing of US allies in Syria, the empty "red line" threat when Assad used chemical weapons or the horrible nuclear deal with Iran that has dramatically increased the danger to Israel.
* When asked about the greatest danger America faces in the world today, Bernie Sanders said global warming and Hillary said the Republican Party.
* When asked about the four Americans killed at Benghazi, Hillary said "I'll get to that later". But of course she never did get back to it and none of the CNN moderators ever followed up on the question.
* All of the Democrat candidates complained about the economy and how middle class take-home pay has shrunk and how more people are living in poverty and on food stamps than ever before. Yet not one single word of criticism, from any of then, about Obama, who has been running the economy for the last seven years! And of course there was no mention of the fact that Obama will have run the national debt up to more than $20 trillion by the time he leaves office.
*Their answer to every problem was to grow the size of the federal government, raise taxes and increase spending. They tried to out-do each other by promising to give voters more and more "free stuff". Free health care for every one including illegal immigrants, free Obamacare subsidies for illegal immigrants, free college for everyone including illegal immigrants, paid leaves for everyone, higher wages for everyone, $15 an hour minimum wage for everyone, force businesses to do more profit sharing, etc.
* When asked to explain how American taxpayers were going to pay for all of this "free stuff" they said "tax the rich more". Of course none of the CNN moderators mentioned that America already has the highest corporate tax rate in the world or that this is a major contributing factor to the loss of American manufacturing jobs and why American businesses are storing hundreds of billions of dollars over seas, instead of investing that money here in America. Or that the middle class always ends up paying for government "free stuff" and that when you raise taxes on businesses they just raise their prices and cut back on jobs and expansion.
* There was also no mention of the fact that the top 1% of American wage earners already pay 50% of all federal income tax and that the top 10% of wage earners already pay 85% of all federal income tax. Or the fact that the bottom 50% of American wage earners currently pay virtually no federal income tax.
* In one of the funniest rehearsed segments, a moderator asked Hillary about the ongoing FBI investigation into her decision to use a private unsecured server for her State Department E-mails. As usual, Hillary brushed it aside as a vast right wing plot and said she didn't want to talk about it - and she paused. Then, right on queue, Bernie Sanders leaps in and says, "I agree with Hillary, enough talk about her damn E-mails already!" The left wing audience breaks into wild applause and no doubt Chris Matthews felt another thrill run up his leg. But the real beauty of this orchestrated move with Bernie is that not only did it give Hillary a boost in the debate, it effectively blocked the other Democrat candidates from bring the E-mail issue up in the future. It was also no surprise that the CNN moderators never brought up Hillary's dismal poll numbers regarding her honesty and trustworthiness.
Bottom-line, Hillary has locked up the Democrat nomination. The Benghazi hearings are now a dead issue and Hillary will get a free pass as the Clintons always do. The FBI investigation into Hillary's illegal E-mail server will never be prosecuted by the Obama "Justice" department. It will be swept under Obama's oval office rug along with fast & furious, the spying on Fox News reporters and the IRS targeting of conservative groups and individuals.
As history has repeatedly proven, the laws that apply to we common folk do not apply to the Clintons.

Given the stakes, who was playing, the relative talent level, and the preceding match events, there will never ever in football be an ending like that one.*

If he keeps punting the way he did earlier in the game he's likely got a
bright NFL future in store.

Fumble/strip risk there too. Hail Mary!
The punter had obviously at some time done the fumble-wheel-kick
move and was trying to relive his high school glory.

I remember a Bengals-Niners game back in '87 when the Bengals were in
the same situation. Niners had no TOs left. Wyche tells Boomer E. to
take a shotgun snap and run around for a few seconds to kill the clock.
He gets tackled. Time for 1 SF play. Montana to Rice. Niners win.

You should have seen Memphis 60+ years ago. I went there often until
1946.
I was stationed at Millington for a brief time after taking the exam
for the Naval Academy. Memphis was our liberty port.
When I earned my commission as an Ensign in 1951 I bought my new
uniforms there. It was still a nice place.
Beale Street used to be a tourist destination. The Peabody Hotel was
one of the better known in the country.
If I had 3 guesses why it has become a sewer I probably would not need
the first two.

A "unit" is just a dollar amount that each better sets for themselves. It could be as low as $1 or as high as $1,000,000. So if a persons "unit" is $10 and they wager 4 units they would have bet $40 on the game.
